Dark blue and dark neutrals, such as black, are the colors of the month announced by So Scrappy and The Academic Quilter. You can also choose to use an accent color if you are participating in the RSC18 Squared Away Sampler project and making the Queen Charlotte’s Crown block.
I am using dark blue, black, and yellow for my 5 inch Queen Charlotte’s Crown blocks.
I had some trouble visualizing this block, so I took some time to play with it. You can see a few quilt designs using this block in this post.
You can also visit The Academic Quilter for great tutorials on making all of the blocks. There is a chart of various sizes so you can choose what size blocks that you would like to make.
Here are all of my blocks together:
I need a bigger design wall. 🙂
I will be linking up with So Scrappy. Check out the link and see what others are doing with dark blue this month!

I like them on point, too, but curious to see what the challenge setting will be.

That block is striking. I can see the design potential in making a whole quilt of it.

I like the block on the bottom right. I really do not care for the pattern, not decided on if I will make it or make something else to go with the quilt.
Sorry for being late on commenting! I am now 2 months behind, but York Lodge is on the ‘out the door’ phase! LOL

I don’t mind a late comment…you are sewing; not blogging! Good for you!
I didn’t like the block at all; that is why I experimented with it here:

Now I like it, but not enough to devote precious time to it.

Looking good Laura! I am so behind – now 4 months! But will catch up this week and since this is the last month I will finish the quilt top.
